2016 Map of Blacksville

About this map

Dunkard Creek winds through this borderland topography, where the state line between West Virginia and Pennsylvania divides the community of Blacksville from its northern neighbors in Greene County. The 2016 survey illustrates a landscape deeply rooted in family history and traditional rural settlement patterns, particularly along the winding courses of Jakes Run and Daybrook Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds and community landmarks, including the Strosnider Cem, Marshall Cem, and Tennant Memorial Cem. The map highlights the area's physical geography with prominent peaks such as Minnie Knob and Catherines Knob, alongside historically significant transit routes like the Catawba Trail. This modern topographic study serves as a clear record of the enduring villages of Pentress, Mooresville, and Daybrook, which remain centered around their local churches and small-scale creek valleys.
